Solo melee, epic Tide Turns

[Moltier]

Other then the super annoying ogre mage, pretty easy quest.

Congratulations.

Grats, awesome job.

Here I was thinking it was a good job to manage a no-healer, no-caster run in a pug, that was fun and entertaining (not long either).

Not only congratulations on soloing an epic on a melee (which is always impressive by itself)...congratulations on not getting **** for loot...that's pretty rare with soloing. :P

How many times did that annoying Ogre vanish?

[DarkRea]

Yeah, how did you manage to get the Ogre to stay or did you just keep trying till he didnt port out?

Was your AC satisfactory in there for you to feel they weren't hitting you except grazing hits or was there a fair bit of ordinary hits?

[Bacab]

Grats on the Rusted Crown!

Non. That was the only not annoying part in that fight.
He just neg leveled me (forgot to use DW at start), spammed horrid wilthin at a point, disintegrated me for 400+, and of course regenerated and ran away untill i finally blocked his path.

I think ogre mages stay if the dps is low. :P They just dont feel the threat.
Mobs only missed or grazed me. The captain have high to hit, so he was able to hit me until i debuffed him.
The ogre have low to hit i think, but rarely attack so i sacrificed most of my AC for more dps.

What's your AC?

Congrats.

Of all the epics I've done on my monk, solo'ing that one remains one of my favorites. It's really pretty enjoyable till the ogre mage, then it becomes a slog (this is a bit of a theme with melee solos, in my experience). There's a nice pacing and variety to the trash encounters. Though you managed to do it sneaky-style, with half as many kills as I end up with. Very nice. And even nicer that you did it via AC.

If you're looking for other ideas, eFathom can be pretty fun too, and I'm curious as to how easily the mudman is AC-tankable. Or Last Stand if you're feeling nuts- have yet to succeed in that one. Can't imagine AC would make that much easier though.

What's your AC?

~95-100 for trash (less for kobolds)
104 for the captain (108 for a short time) with some debuffs.

Yep, sneaked past most mobs, and not even disable the traps.
I planned to try eFathom and Last Stand in the future. Fathom shouldnt be too hard.
Will see how well it goes.
